Abstract
During the last three decades, many efforts have been made to protect populations from harmful exposure to outdoor pollutants. However people spend about 80-90% of their time in various indoor ambiences (i.e. homes, offices, restaurants, etc.) and the quality of indoor air is an important factor influencing human health. we measured indoor air pollutants levels in homes in Cairo-Egypt to estimate the different sources of pollutants and we measured the concentration of following indoor air pollutants H2S, NO2, CO, SO2 and particulate in four residence areas two of them near industrial area which are Shoubra el khiema and Helwan, the other two residence area were Heliopolis and Nasr city to use these data to estimate the health burden that is attributed to air pollution within homes, 30 sample were collected from 30 homes in each area using gas analyzer and particulate analyzer (Thermo dust meter). the analyses of the results demonstrated that there was a significant increase of CO, H2S, SO2, NO2 and particulate levels in industrial area with mean ±SD: 6.1±8.3, 0.05±0.01, 0.05±0.01, 0.2±0.09 and 0.3±0.04 respectively than non-industrial area with mean ±SD: 2.7±0.7, 0.01±0.07, 0.03±0.02, 0.1±0.02 and 0.2±0.03 respectively with p-value= 0.002, 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.002 and 0.002 respectively.
To estimate IAP Health aspect we measured the hemoglobin concentration and other Blood indices. We also measured the liver enzymes ALT and AST to examine the effect of air pollutant on liver function. 20 Blood sample were collected from 20 homes in each area.
We found a significant increase of Hemoglobin concentration (Hb%) of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 14.86 and 0.39 respectively than (Hb%) of non-industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 14.03 and 0.56 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001), A significant increase of Packed Cell Volume(PCV) of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 45.5 and 1.1 respectively than (PCV) of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 42.04 and 1.16 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001), A significant increase of red blood cell count of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 5.46 and 0.13 respectively than Red Blood Cell count of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 4.94 and 0.26 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001), A significant decrease of Mean corpuscular Volume(MCV) of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 80.7 and 10.85 respectively than (MCV) of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 85.2 and 1.67 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001), A significant decrease of Mean corpuscular Hemoglobin(MCH)of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 27.2 and 0.5 respectively than (MCH)of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 28.38 and 1.01 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001), A significant decrease of Mean corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration(MCHC) of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 32.68 and 0.57 respectively than (MCHC)of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 33.5 and 0.45 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001).A significant increase of ALT Concentration of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 41.08 and 8.34 respectively than ALT of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 27.35 and 5.4 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001).
A significant increase of AST Concentration of industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 43 and 10.08 respectively than AST of non- industrial area samples with mean and Std Deviation 26.85 and 6.4 respectively with p-value (p<0.00001).
